Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Ethan Bartlett!
Ethan, a 7th grader, was nominated by Mrs. Lackaff, who wrote, "Ethan is a 7th grade member of our PCJH Band. When he joined band in 5th grade, he started on the baritone. Towards the end of 6th grade, he switched to the tuba, which is what he currently plays in band. Ethan is an all-around outstanding musician. He has worked so hard on the tuba to get caught back up after switching to a new instrument. His dedication not only to his own musicianship, but to his incredibly important role in our band, is outstanding. Even once he can play every note and rhythm in his part, he is constantly searching for ways to improve; asking questions like: Am I playing loud enough here? Am I in tune? Was my tempo steady? He truly cares about making our band the best that we can be. Ethan is also the first one to step up when I need help with things like moving equipment and stacking chairs and stands. I am incredibly proud of the musician that Ethan is becoming and can't wait to watch him continue to improve throughout his time in the PC band program! Thank you for all of your hard work, Ethan!" Ethan is also involved in choir, art guild, and basketball.
Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Karmyn Folk!
Karmyn, an 8th grader, was nominated by Mrs. Markley, who wrote, "I've really enjoyed having Karmyn in class over the past couple of years. I've seen so much growth in her, not only academically, but as a person as well. She is an excellent math student and brings a positive and exciting vibe to the classroom, and she's a wonderfully supportive peer to her classmates. Karmyn is sweet and trustworthy, and she is always willing to help out in class however she can. I'm proud of her for ambitiously starting a Fashion Club at the Jr. High this year; she is a leader at heart. I'm excited to see where life takes her!" Karmyn is also involved in Choir.
